Este estudo visa analisar a questão da espiritualidade no contexto laboral de
organizações portuguesas. A espiritualidade é entendida como o modo como cada um, de
forma pessoal e íntima, procura dar sentido a si, aos outros, à organização, ao trabalho, em
busca da felicidade e do bem-estar em contexto organizacional. Para o efeito, participaram
401 trabalhadores, dos quais 286 desempenham funções de gestores e 115 desempenham
funções de colaboradores em organizações de cariz público e privado, tendo sido avaliados
através do questionário "Os Valores e a prática do trabalho", organizado em 6 dimensões
distintas: (i) a pessoa e a empresa, (ii) relações humanas no trabalho, (iii) carreira, (iv)
comunicação interna, (v) valores, e (vi) espiritualidade. Os resultados obtidos permitam
verificar que estas dimensões são valorizadas pelos trabalhadores em geral, e reflectem o
sentido cristão na vida laboral, isto é, esclarecem a "presença de Deus" e dos valores cristãos
nas práticas organizacionais. Estes resultados são congruentes com os obtidos em estudos
prévios a nível internacional e nacional, e justificam o investimento das organizações em
matéria de espiritualidade, na medida em que este se constitui um factor importante para
aspectos como o bem-estar, a satisfação, os sentidos de sucesso e progresso, a produtividade,
o desempenho, e o próprio lucro, de pessoas e organizações.
This study aims to examine the question of spirituality at the work context of Portuguese organizations4 . Spirituality is assumed as the way each person, in a personal and intimate way, seeks to make sense of him/herself, of others, of the organization, and of the work itself, in search of happiness and well-being in organizations. To this end, 401 workers participated at this research, of whom 286 have functions of managers and 115 have functions of collaborators, in public and private organizations. They were assessed by the questionnaire "The values and the work", organized in 6 different dimensions (i) the person and the company, (ii) human relations at work, (iii) career, (iv) internal communications, (v) values, and (vi) spirituality. The obtained results allowed to confirm that these dimensions are valued by workers in general, and reflect the Christian sense in the working life, that is, they clarify the "presence of God" and of Christian values in the organizational practices. These results are consistent with those obtained in previous studies at an international and national levels, and justify the investment of organizations in the field of spirituality, in so far as it constitutes an important factor in aspects such as the well-being, satisfaction, sense of success and progress, productivity, performance, and profit of people and organizations.
